Find the greatest common factor...
Take a number, say 248.
What goes into 248? 4 and 62.
Now, 2 and 2 make four.
(remember 2^2)
So what makes 62? 2 and 31.
Since 31 is prime, that's the end of that.
The factorization of 248 is 2^3 x 31
Do that for each of them...
Then, line them all up.
See which numbers are common (all 4 of them must have it, it doesn't matter what the exponent is)
Then, for each of those common numbers, take the one with the smallest exponent (say there's a 2, a 2^4 and a 2^6. Take the 2 because it has the smallest exponent of 1)
Multiply them all together. TA DA!!!
Sorry if this seems long, once you get the hang of it, it's really easy.

Here's how to do it for 1-10
Divisible by?:
1: Of course. All integers are divisible by 1.
2: Yes. Last digit is 8, which is even.
3: No. Sum of the digits is 14, which isn't divisible by 3.
4: Yes. The last two digits are 48, which is divisible by 4.
5: No. The last digit is not a 0 or 5.
6: No. It is not divisible by both 2 and 3.
7: No. 248 - 3(70) = 248 - 210 = 38. 38 - 5(7) = 38 - 35 = 3, which is not divisible by 7. So it is not divisible by 7.
8: Yes. 248 - 3(80) = 248 - 240 = 8, which is divisible by 8. So it is divisible by 8.
9: No. The sum of the digits is 14, which is not divisible by 9.
10: No. The last digit is not a 0.
So the number is divisible by 2, 4, and 8.

248 = 2*2*2*31
1827 = 3*3*7*29
1570 = 2*5*157
348 = 2*2*3*29
no single common factor for all 4 numbers.

Which of those numbers are divisible? All the even ones, for sure, they can all be divided by two, at the very least. Numbers ending in 7 can be divided by 7, 3, OR 9, in this case it looks like 1827 can at least be divided by 7, see if you can divide it by 3 and 9, too, maybe you can. Maybe I didn't understand your question, but it seems like all of them are divisible by something.
